Entry requirements

EntryRequirements

​A pre-requisite of attendance on all PTRLDP modules is that the learner has a sound understanding of the issues of equality, diversity and human rights within a police training context. We emphasise the importance of this as a foundation for the whole PTRLDP programme. An introduction to the necessary learning is covered by the NCALT Introduction to Diversity e-learning package, which can be completed or reviewed, as appropriate. Students will also need to complete the Core Skills and Values Pre-Learning Workbook prior to attending the module, which involves a notional 6 -12 hours study.
